Apparently you're not sufficiently familiar with Pentax DSLRs. While the K10D/K20D do, indeed, have a twist-lock catch on the door, that isn't true of all models. In particular it is not true of the newer K-7 (and K-5), which are the cameras actually being discussed; on those bodies all you need to do to open the card door is simply slide the door slightly to unlock it, whereupon it can swing open. (FWIW, the older *ist-D only had a spring catch, too - nowhere near as secure as the K10D. But that body wasn't weather-sealed, either) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
